Abstract
Methods and apparatus to support personal information management are described. One example method includes receiving personal information of a user from a mobile device through close-proximity communication, accessing verification information related to the personal information, obtaining biometric information; and verifying the personal information based on the biometric information and based on a comparison of the verification information and the personal information.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- receiving first personal information of a user from a mobile device and second personal information of a second person associated with the user of the mobile device through close-proximity communication;
- accessing first verification information related to the first personal information and second verification information related to the second personal information;
- obtaining biometric information from the user and from the second person;
- verifying the first personal information based on the first biometric information and based on a comparison of the first verification information and the first personal information;
- and
- verifying the second personal information based on the second biometric information and based on a comparison of the second verification information and the second personal information.
